    This movie so far has had nothing but bad reports that I feel out of place in saying that I am enjoying it so far! Maybe it's the LACK of filthy language and sex that is putting people off. Shame on them. It's about time we had something watchable, no matter how outrageous or corny it may be!

    I watched the first 10.5 , which needless to say prompted my watching of the second one. Excuse me if I'm not one of the "nit picky" people that focus on the "believeability " of anything due to the special effects or what errors there may have been in the camera-work. I enjoyed it and at the same time it heighted my awareness to something that is not "out of the question". Anything can happen, and it can happen here. I remember Mount St.Helens.… Collapse

    I wish some critics would look beyond the first layer and dive deep into what is being said. This movie has a lot of truth and if you would read in the bible you might see some similarties into what these therories are representing. I think the acting is well done and that the way it is shown on screen is so different it is refreshing to watch. I think more movies should be made like these. Sometimes I think critics are to harsh and scared to admit that there is truth in this movie that may hit too close to home or the heart.… Expand

    I gave it a high rating since i liked action and suspence. kind of remind me of another show called "lost" which is on another network. I hoped that this show could be made into a series. but that all depends on all those who watched it and their ratings. and will it be dvd.

    The four-hour project was written and directed by John Lafia, who managed to find new and creative ways to turn every scene into a cliche and get a cringe from every line of dialogue.

    The sheer brazenness of its borrowed trashiness makes it oddly watchable.

    "10.5: Apocalypse," is visually dazzling, relentlessly hysterical and also a sequel, which means that most viewers sitting down to watch it know what they're getting into. That should damp down any untoward expectations -- the appearance of a believable character, for instance, or piece of dialogue, neither of which, be assured, is to be found here.
